THE COUCH POTATO by Jory John & Pete Oswald
PAPERBACK
Author: Jory John
Illustrator: Pete Oswald
Laugh-out-loud funny and sneakily wise, THE COUCH POTATO is a playful picture book about screen time, fresh air, and finding a healthier balance - from the creators of The Bad Seed, The Good Egg, and The Cool Bean.
Meet the Couch Potato. He has everything he needs within arm’s reach - snacks, remote, screens, and a perfectly sunken couch cushion. Why move when the best views are already on-screen?
But when the power suddenly goes out, Couch Potato is forced to peel himself off the couch and venture outdoors. To his great surprise, the real world turns out to be pretty amazing. Fresh air, sunshine, and movement might just rival his favourite shows after all.
Written by Jory John and illustrated with bold, energetic humour by Pete Oswald, this fourth book in the Food Group series delivers a timely message with warmth and plenty of laughs. Hilarious, highly relatable take on screen time, The Couch Potato reminds readers that while screens are fun, life beyond the couch can be even better.
